Attention: W. F. Kelly, Chief Supervisor of Border Patrol
Herewith is a list of forty-eight (48) members of the s. s. Conte Biancamano crew and one agent of the Italian lines from Cristobal (Dr. Giovanni Bruni) reported by Mr. Caselli and Mr. de Lucca as still remaining at Ellis Island.
Mr. Caselli Mr. de Lucca request that this group of forty-nine (49) be sent on to Missoula as quickly as possible in view of the present conditions at Ellis Island.
In this connection, your attention is respectfully called to the fact that we will have 813 detainees at this Detention Station following the arrival of the group of thirty-nine (39) from Seattle on the 4th instant. This group of forty-nine (49) will make 862 detainees here. Our maximum capacity of one thousand (1,000), with present facilities, is rapidly being reached and, in view of the fact that it will take some time to construct new barracks, it is felt that the remaining members of the S. S. Conte Biancamano crew should, if possible, be sent here to occupy present available space, instead of completing our present quota with miscellaneous groups.
As previously reported to you, the positive maximum capacity of this Detention Station without additional facilities is 1050 but it is essential, in addition to the hospital now maintained within the detention area, that we maintain a sick bay of at least fifty beds. Therefore, v/0 ffirso should plan only on having 1,000 here until new barracks are completed.
The cooperation of Mr. Caselli and Mr. de Lucca has been splendid. "Bella Vista" (as the Italians call this detention station) is fast being organized into a smooth-running Italian community.
